Who Is Bix Caleen In Star Wars’ Andor?

One of the most interesting characters in “Andor” appears to be Bix Caleen, played by Adria Arjona. Most recently seen in “Morbius” and “Triple Frontier,” Arjona is making her “Star Wars” debut with “Andor” as a mechanic with an elusive past. Though details are slim on the Disney+ character, a brand new clip from the series (via Soul of a Nation) shows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) entering Caleen’s shop, hoping to make contact with a trader. Andor’s needs are urgent and Caleen senses that the Rebel spy has gotten himself embroiled in something larger than he can handle.

From their brief banter, it’s apparent that the duo share a history, and in an interview with Collider, Arjona described Caleen and Andor as childhood friends. “Bix is someone that isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty. She’s a risk-taker. She is bold and fearless,” Arjona revealed to the outlet. And while Andor and Caleen might be childhood friends, there have been some issues in the past which have led to contention, which can be spotted in the clip where the Rebel spy visits his friend at her salvage yard. “You can almost tell that their trust has been built and broken and built and broken over the course of many, many years,” Arjona discussed. Despite their issues, Arojna went on to describe Caleen as both caring and protective.

While Caleen and Andor appear to be at odds at the start of the series, it remains to be seen how exactly the mechanic plays into the larger “Star Wars” universe.
